Vinification:
The winemaking process is akin to crafting a delicate pastry. Handpicked grapes from a single vineyard are cooled to 8°C to preserve their delicate flavours. The juice undergoes an extended skin contact period and is fermented at a controlled 12-14°C, similar to slow baking to ensure perfect texture. Fermentation is stopped to retain some residual sugar, adding to the wine's balanced sweetness.

Terroir:
Bergsig Estate's unique terroir is like a finely tuned orchestra. Located on the upper slopes of the Breede River Valley, the vineyard enjoys a Mediterranean climate with about 980mm of rainfall annually. The cool winters and significant temperature variation create an ideal environment for slow ripening, akin to how cool and warm temperatures influence the development of complex flavours in fruit. The soil, shaped by the Worcester Fault, adds a distinctive character to the wine, similar to how diverse soil types affect the taste of garden-grown produce.
